MacOS 10.12

Anyone attempt to run Parallels Desktop on MacOS 10.12? Any issues or advice? Thanks.

 

Also interested in this. Don't want to load Sierra if it breaks Parallels.

 

The only issue that I have found so far is that, for some reason, the space bar in the keyboard is not working. I have tried it in several VMs (Windows and Linux), so it's not a Guest OS issue. I'll keep trying to find a workaround.

 

Found the reason. Siri on macOS uses fn-spacebar as default keyboard shortcut and (for some reason) interferes with the space bar on parallels. Changed Siri to use ctrl-spacebar and everything is working now. Will keep testing and post back.

 

That is great information. Thank you for posting.

 

OMG AngeloR, you are a life saver. I would not have found that. Spacebar aside, it is working perfectly for me as well.
Shift Spacebar works too as a fall back if you're attempting to get something typed quickly.

 

how do i write a post? anyone know? i need to ask why my network wont work when ive followed all the steps its given me but i still cant connect

 

Alas, Parallels Desktop 11 on my 10.12 iMac won't launch virtual machines.
Version 11.2.0 (32581) - any OS results in an error 15, which points to http://kb.parallels.com/en/116216. I'll try the uninstall/re-install trick next.

Update: I tried to delete and reinstall Parallels, no luck. All VMs hang and won't launch.

Update2: It works. Turns out that cupsd wasn't running, and won't automatically launch on my system for some reason, and even though I don't use or have any printers, Parallels won't actually start unless cupsd is running on the system...

 

im having no luck installing it
anybody get it installed yet in a VM?
i setup 10.11 with my recovery parition, download the developer preview from the app store with my code,
go to install it, goes ok, then reboots, then starts up, says installing then fails with 'storage system verify or repair failed'
but after that it just reboots and i cant get back into the original 10.11, it seems to just kernel panic

 

Hey guys,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

 

I expect Parallels developers were rubbing their hands if they listened to WWDC regarding macOS. That will be another Parallels upgrade everyone will need to buy if they want to run Sierra. Personally I can count on the fingers of one hand the amount of times I have fired up my Windows 10 VM on the Mac in the last twelve months.

I have W10 on a Laptop should I need to use Windows so the VM has become pretty redundant. Given that scenario I will likely remove the VM from the Mac or stay with the present iteration of OS X. Certainly not worth spending good money for something I'm not really using any more.

 

Hello Parallels team :

Any idea on when you could have a new Parallels Desktop for Mac version that could run with MacOs Sierra ? Will you have it prior to Apple's release of the public beta by July ? Thank you and look forward for your response.

 

Thanks for your response on this, and look forward for the new updates of Parallels Desktop for Mac.

 

I am also having the same issue. Any work arounds for this?

 

Installing Parallels Tools on Linux Mint 17.3 and 18.0 causes the video driver to distort the screen so much that it makes it unusable. Existing VM's with Parallels Tools installed show the same distortion. That's using the latest Parallels Desktop on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015).
